Across Asia, drivers, carmakers and governments adapt to higher oil prices


SINGAPORE (AP) - Alarmed by high gasoline prices, Singaporean drivers are turning to a new Web site that posts data on costs at gasoline stations. Malaysia plans to blend diesel with palm oil to power cars. South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co. and other automakers that sell fuel-efficient cars say demand is growing. 

Consumers, car companies and governments are searching for ways to offset the drain on their economic fortunes after Hurricane Katrina's direct hit on U.S. oil infrastructure triggered a surge in oil prices.
